From beloved New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie
Benedict comes the story of a not-so-famous scientist who not only
loved Albert Einstein, but also shaped the theories that brought
him lasting renown. In the tradition of Beatriz Williams and Paula
McClain, Marie Benedict's The Other Einstein offers us a window
into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in
Einstein's enormous shadow. This novel resurrects Einstein's wife,
a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the
special theory of relativity is hotly debated. Was she simply
Einstein's sounding board, an assistant performing complex
mathematical equations? Or did she contribute something more? Mitza
Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most
twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite
Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her
clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for
her, math is an easier path than marriage. Then fellow student
Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns
sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the
heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a
marriage. Marie Benedict illuminates one pioneering woman in STEM,
returning her to the forefront of history's most famous scientists.
"The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva's heart, mind, and study
as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world
dominated by men."-Bustle Recommended by PopSugar, Bustle,
Booklist, Library Journal and more! Other Bestselling Historical
Fiction from Marie Benedict: The Mystery of Mrs. Christie The Only
